Been away from Gw2 (WvW) for 1.5 year, whats new?

If someone could gather the biggest news about WvW I would be really happy.

We are a couple of friends talking about coming back to the game, and focus will always be WvW.

Simple english please =)

 

(EU) far shiverpeaks.

Not much, just some new especs leading to a (not really) new meta of guardi firebrand healer, war spellbreaker, necro scoure, with rev hammer backline and some eles. Some numbers nerf to seige items, and new reward tracks. There's also talk about [world reconstructing](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/26547/world-restructuring/p1 "world reconstructing") but that's all it is atm, talk.

Summary: nothing much. Less players, less comms, promise of jam tomorrow. If you don't have the last expansion you're stuffed, Point of Failure brought in even more broken mechanics.

most is same except less nos.

Herald is HoT

Chrono is HoT

[HazyDaisy.4107]

Depending on what you consider a year and a half:

 

*Ascended armor - that can be made legendary

 

*Legendary backpack

 

*Talk to skirmish supervisor for those 2 things and other stuffs.

 

Other notable changes:

 

New reward tracks

 

Skirmish chests drop POF tokens instead of Hot tokens now, pof tokens can be exchanged for Hot tokens if you need any of the Hot stuff.

 

Crafting stations gone - but Bank access at spawn is available, banker is across from BLTP guy

 

3 Guest servers overtook 3 Hosts in the last 3 months on NA - not sure about EU politics

 

Eotm gvg/fight arena

 

New and improved specs that have since been nerfed or modified slightly

 

Changes to food and utility wrenches

 

Gliding, but no mounts yet

[Gemnaid.4219]

Nothing new. Same maps, same boring gameplay.

Scrapper, druid, reaper, dragonhunter and daredevil too. All see various use in zerging or roaming. Pretty much the only one not seen is the berserker - vanilla warriors are more common than that.

[Kirin.7306]

same old unbalanced damage and CC

[misterman.1530]

...and...as you can see from this thread...same old QQing.

[Skeletor.9360]

Still the game mode that has common asked for solutions that are not done.

However the improvement is that they are doing absolutely nothing as opposed to making changes that nobody wanted. (See revert of desert maps...and no more pve story in wvw.)

So....

New classes OP like back in HOT.

Suggest just playing free version for a bit. You'll see all this for yourself.
